Catalog

We are happy to fill individual orders directly through our website, where you can find detailed information on each title listed to the left, as well as excerpts of the work. For wholesale and institutional orders, please contact our distributor, Small Press Distribution, where individuals may also buy books directly.

While most of our titles are available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, neither corporation has very friendly small press practices in place, and we would much prefer that you order from us, Small Press Distribution, or better yet: your local independant bookstore (check out the Bookshelf page for a list of retailers around the country that already stock our titles). However, we understand the financial allure of using these big-name retailers so we offer free shipping on all retail orders through our website, no matter how big or small.

What Replaces Us When We Go

What Replaces Us When We Go

each small lined-up canoe whips awayso that when our oar-swirls meet, a

tornado stirs the whole brotherhood& even the sun goes tornado.

In Julie Doxsee’s What Replaces Us When We Go, the urban poet invites transformation into a seaside forest home. Meanwhile, city grit continues to haunt her as cows and dogs roam the coast. Later, the poems travel through deserts as the speaker inhabits animal bodies, alternating between freezing and burning while moving through mechanical and serpentine landscapes in a perpetual state of wish.

Doxsee has a gift for crafting visceral, sonically alluring images that are pliable yet precisely structured. . . . This is an enigmatic but perceptive inventory of emotions that emerge in the liminal land visited in waking dreams.

Julie Doxsee is the author of several poetry collections, including Fog Death and Next Monsters, both also published by Black Ocean. She lives in Pennsylvania with her sons.
